All warm season lawn grasses from plugs, sod, seed, or sprigs or by hydromulching. Zoysia should only be planted as solid soil. Also the tall prairie grasses from seed including big and little bluestem, Indiangrass, switchgrass, sideoats gramma, eastern gamma, etc.

All trees and shrubs from containers. Hardened off balled and burlapped plants also. Always remove the burlap, extra soil and ropes from the top of the root balls. Root flares should be exposed well above ground after planting.

Fleas and ticks: Apply natural diatomaceous earth in dry weather and beneficial nematodes anytime. For chiggers apply elemental sulfur at 4lbs per 1000 sq ft or less or spray with mound drench products or other plant oil products.

Cabbage loopers and other caterpillars: Release trichogramma wasps and as a last resort spray Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) or the fire ant control formula. Add one ounce of molasses per gallon of Bt spray.

Aphids on tender, new growth: strong water blast to remove. Release ladybugs, the larvae may already be present, so check closely before spraying anything that kills.
